William H. Frist said "I congratulate Chairman Ensign for managing this bill, an important bill that we have passed and that the House has passed, and now it is time for us to go to conference. I thank leadership and the managers on both sides because we were able to address a very important issue and had appropriate amendments under an agreement that was reached, and conclusion was passage as we just heard by 65 to 34 on this bill. With regard to that, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate immediately proceed to the consideration of H.R. 748, the House companion measure; provided that all after the enacting clause be stricken and the text of S. 403, as amended, if amended, be inserted in lieu thereof; the bill then be read a third time and passed, and the Senate insist on its amendment, request a conference with the House, and the Chair be authorized to appoint conferees with a ratio of 7 to 5. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
